44 Episode XXXII: What Keeps You From Returning

"Nothing... you don't have to follow me, do you?

As the boneless rock rushes through the hidden wilderness, Atu complains grumpy to the soldiers of Minoghura, the old Mortars who follow him from behind.

Atu's leg strength is not people's.

The force rolled out of its thin feet is enough to break the earth, and it rushes through enormous distances at one foot's feet.

Though the Dark Elves, blessed by Mynogura, have become evil beings, their basis is only that of man.

Nevertheless, they were able to march with Atu because she had slaughtered the demons of Bravequestus before Yuku.

The tentacles she holds have a wider range of attacks than that looks.

Plus the number of goals you can capture at the same time...

In one swing, many demons split up and down, and in one swing, many demons are pushed through the brain.

Old Mortar even has a slight sentiment of pity while being an enemy to the demons who are kicked in as if to bump into frustration.

"- Were you still there?

The frustration came this way.

Those eyes, curling back, are as if they were just shooting at you, and there is a sense of intimidation that if you misspell the word at all, you're going to be poked to death by a swinging tentacle on her back.

of the outside world - it is also the heavy pressure unleashed by beings called heroes.

With a cold sweat in his heart, Old Mortar answers the words quietly to never buy his opponent's unhappiness.

"I have received my life to march with the king. No matter how helpful you may be, you cannot disobey the king's orders."

"Well, then follow me to the point where I'm not late."

"Ha ha!

Eventually, whether Atu's interest had been lost or a new prey had been found, she began walking down the aisle of instructions she had received again when she turned away from her face a lot.

Around the slightest flurry of demonic screams in its beginnings, apparently still indispensable to those who bump her anger.

"Dear Mr. Mortar..."

"Don't say it. I know."

Mortar's subordinate sorcerer apprentice whispers his name.

I knew what he was going to say, but I just block him from saying the words that lie ahead.

No matter how much you whisper, it sounds to them.

I don't have a hobby of losing my life mischievously with unwanted anger.

(But... what anger. They're going to burn me out just by my side...)

Old Mortar solitary inside.

Her attitudinal changes will come after defeating the enemy Four Heavenly Kings Ice Rock in the battle ahead.

Precisely since we brought the report to our Lord, Ira-Takt.

Enemy assault on the capital of Minoghura.

It was enough to amaze everyone who was on the spot, and at the same time a strong sense of crisis.

I still can't say enough power, Minogula. In addition to that, there is a situation where this march to the Dragon Tang is dividing its power.

There is no guarantee anywhere that the defense of the capital is hit by Isla, who is also a hero, in case it does not happen.

In addition, there are many non-combatants in the land.

If it is pushed in numbers and the defense is even a breakthrough, it is not only the harm done to citizens who have no power, but in the worst case, even the king, Ira-Takt, is endangered.

That event, which happened as if they were laughing at their chronic hearts, was turning Atu's allegiance to and concern for Tact, arguably fanatical.

"We have to get to Master Tact soon... these garbage people!!

You realize you can't escape, or you stumble unconstitutionally on Hill Giant, who came this way with a sad look.

Already, her fighting power has become less than teeth on the Hill Giant side, and the demons, who are processed in a progressive fashion, have revealed their power to her in the form of experience.

The cause of her rage so far was the demons to be handled in front of this eye.

It was when Atu contacted Tact and was upset when he heard reports of an enemy attack on his home base in Minoghura.

She was the one who immediately offered to return to Minoghura and proposed the defense of the city and the destruction of the enemy in the form of joining Isla, but Takt's decision was no.

Instead, the commands communicated to her were the march to the district where the Demon King's army seemed to occur and the destruction of the Demon King in the form of continuing pursuits and ravaging the army of retreating enemies south of the Dragon Tang.

Because Tact, who has played Brave Questas, thought it was possible to completely destroy the Demon King's Army because of the difference in power between the Four Heavens and Atu.

In other words, we tried to converge earlier than to waste time and create unexpected problems.

I leave the city of Mynogura and my own defense to Isla.

What was her thoughts like when she was told that...

Regardless, there is no such thing as the right to argue against Atu.

He has been briefed and decides that his taste as a hero is not a problem for him militarily either.

But if the intention is understandable, whether it is satisfactory or not is another story.

In the first place, a hero named Atu was originally strongly subordinated to the existence of Ira-Tact.

There was a strong rejection to behave differently in a situation where the person dear to her was tact above all else, but whose own Lord was in danger.

Even if that's what Tact decided and ordered...

I want to return to my beloved king now, protect myself by my own hands, and crush the inferior enemy forces.

Together with my companion, Isla, I want to play my role as a hero to the fullest.

Its grip and awkwardness reveal itself as pure anger, and the wretched demons are scattered their lives unharmed as a gateway to anger.

But the reality was different. The chosen operation was something else.

- There is no IF in history.

Games can be redone, but such features do not exist in reality.

So I guess it's pointless to say this.

That moment. If Tact was making the decision to return Atu to Minogula, this result could not have happened, etc., then I would break it......

"Ugh, that's a lie..."

Suddenly, it was really sudden.

Atu, who had been furious until earlier, stopped Pitali and his steps, and shivered in defiance.

"... hmm? Atu which. How is it done?

It was still old Mortar who first felt the anomaly.

I don't know what happened because I was taking some distance not to buy Atu's anger, but I only knew very well that the anomaly had occurred.

The sun has already begun to set and time is hanging in at dusk.

The orange sunlight illuminates Atu's body red from behind, wetting the outside girl's body as if its color had bathed even in blood.

One step, Old Mortar approached Atu.

That's how I try to speak to her again......

"Hey! Everybody, get down! Hide in the shadows of the rocks!

I noticed the anomaly at your place.

"It's a lie! Lies, lies, lies! Impossible! That can't be happening!

The ground exploded.

Atu's tentacles wield endlessly as if they represented her anger.

Treated as if a toddler would swing a rope and play with it, it plays the deafening sound of mutilating the bungee and the air while crushing all the shapes around it.

"You're a hero!? The hero of Mynogura! That's why!? In here!?

Those who rushed to hide in the shadows of nearby rocks will be fortunate.

And fortunately, there was a hidden rock near the dark elves who were on the spot as if they were even blessed by God.

As the strangled stone pours down like a bullet, Old Mortar chews his own good fortune, whilst shouting at Atu's wrath.

Because it was clear that if we did not, even the rocks that would protect us in front of us would eventually be shredded and that violence would strike.

"Our hero Atu.! Please calm that anger! Its power is not wielded by a grudge, but is only to be used for the sake of Minoghura and King Ira-Takt!

Atu's fierce exaggeration had swelled to the point of destroying everything on the spot and exhausting it.

If the words were wrong, old Mortar would have disappeared from this spot, aside from all the dark elves on the spot.

It's one word that stopped a hero going mad at anger.

Ira-tact.

The name of the Absolutely Unique Lord, to whom she gave everything, stopped her violent consciousness and sent her back to the edge of calm.

"............... disturbed"

Potty groans and helps as if the anger earlier was a lie.

The rampant, insane tentacles sag without force, eventually stowed into the shrug and its back.

After careful observation of Atu, who is suddenly self-defeated, Mortar finally confirms that he has crossed the training ground, he sighs loudly and signals and summons his men.

Calm is already back in her eyes.

If so, the hero Atu of Mynogura will not wave his power against his companions to the Darkless Arrow Cod.

That said, the sight earlier was not something we could forget immediately......

Old Mortar never asks his will as some unusual air flows and the gathered dark elves stare worryingly at Atu.

"The hell... what happened?

The air strains.

I've never seen a disturbed Atu before, and I've never seen a distracted Atu before.

It was clear that a critical situation had arisen. From the words uttered earlier by Atu, it is also possible to speculate to some extent on their content.

But even if reason convinced me, my mind was never convinced.

That's why I had to hear that word from Atu.

"Isra..."

Potsuri and the name of a hero that everyone on the spot would know.

And at the same time, I could speculate on the content of the next word to be spoken.

"Isra is dead"

With the look of bitterness, the words were finally squeezed out.

Death of Mynogura's hero Taru Isla.

The defeat of the hero, who is the sword of the nation and the symbol of the power of the king of ruin, Tara-Takt.

Anyone on the spot could not accept the fact.

◇ ◇ ◇

"... Huh?

At that moment, Tact leaked his voice like a fool.

The place where he is is is the city of Mynogura, the corner of a building like the bureau that looses its administrative functions.

He was the one who came to this building close to the citizens' place of refuge because of the difficulty of defence when it came to having to do with the palace, which is his usual residence, but it would be fortunate that no one was listening to the words.

"No way, no way"

The sudden change of circumstances was momentary.

I was watching what happened with my twin sisters, Tact.

To fully demonstrate his power as an SRPG player, he was checking the state of battle, placing soldiers and instructing them, communicating the characteristics and moves of his opponents to Isla and teaching them how to attack.

The transition of the battle is as expected in his brain, and many of the actions carried out as if they were stuffing chess will eventually assemble the puzzle in the form of an Israelite victory.

Eventually, as expected, an easy and natural victory with no problems whatsoever was brought to him and Isla, when he was also going to do it in a subsequent reflection.

Contact with Isla was cut off and the twin girls who were on their own side disappeared......

It was all over when I understood that something unexpected had happened.

"Isla. Reply..."

Communications are interrupted.

Nor can I share my vision, which I can usually do without problems.

In the last sight, the twins are summoned to that place. I also understand very well that disturbing conversations were taking place.

Ira-Takt, the leader of Mynogura, can share his vision with all his own people.

Both his samurai twin girls...

I rush to connect my vision to my twin sister.

I don't get a response back.

Then connect to my sister.

The reaction didn't come back.

"Hey, hey... because I'm going to generate and send out the hygiene soldiers in emergency production right away. Guys, wait a minute. Oh, no, I didn't think this was gonna happen."

My voice trembles. If it's a mistake, believe me it is.

Attempt to speak to Isla again.

Attempt to read to a twin girl.

I'm sure you'll be fine. That there's no way you could die that irrationally.

First, I need to make sure you're okay and apologize. I need you to forgive me for how my alarm and impudence have hurt them.

And we need to form a rescue team, even soon, to help them get hurt.

"Oh, no..."

But the past never returns.

The result of the decisions taken came back to itself correctly.

"Isla, career, Mary......"

Pity, just crush that.

This world is not a game. Not in the world of Eternal Nation.

Neither reset nor load exists.

If you die, you stay dead.

So this was a reality that Tact should take.

I couldn't change it, it was real.

- On this day, the presence Tact loved was lost from the world.

Isla, Queen of All Worms, has been destroyed.
